there are many ideas
and theories about
art appreciation,

and what one needs to know
in order to
appreciate a work of art.

it appears to be true
that art can be appreciated
  without knowing
who, what, where, when,
why -
or how.

it is possible to only
have the raw sensory experience
of a thing -
and then to extrapolate (or
not extrapolate)
any further meaning or purpose,
and to just appreciate
a thing for
its semblance and
beauty.

but what happens
when you do
find out the
who, what, where, when,
why -
and how.

what t h e n?


and so it is the same for people.
